> Dear all,
>
> I'm new to this list and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a 
> Fellow of the Shuttleworth Foundation working on technologies and 
> metadata for attribution and licensing information of digital works. I 
> previously worked for Creative Commons and the Free Software 
> Foundation Europe.
>
> As you may know, Creative Commons has in the past organised a series 
> of technology summits but the last one was too many years ago and so 
> myself and a few others have started drafting some plans for a more 
> general Commons Technology Summit[*].
>
> I'm including a list of the currently proposed topics for such a 
> summit (the tentative date of which is sometime towards the end of the 
> year, somewhere in Europe). You're all most welcome to contribute to 
> the thinking and express your interest in participating:

> List of ideas:
>
> * Automated tools to facilitate the reuse of openly licensed materials
>     Reuse scenarios as simple as embedding an image from an 
> open-access article into a blog post about the paper tend to be 
> complex enough for (re)users not to always manage providing all the 
> metadata and provenance information required by the licensing terms. 
> What tools are there that would allow to embed the image along with 
> all this information? How can reuse be scaled up?
>
> * Attribution metadata
>     Attribution is relevant not only for artistic works, but for 
> scientific works, data, software,
>     and any kind of digital work. It's relevant to discuss, also in 
> relation to content registries
>     above, how such attribution can take place, and what metadata 
> standards are useful for
>     this.
>
> * Open standards for open data
>     In order to make open data useful on a larger scale, it's not 
> helpful when municipalities
>     or others relese data in different formats to one another! Could 
> there be some kind of
>     (un)official standardisation of open data formats?
>
> * ccREL
>     The ccREL standard for expressing Creative Commons licenses was 
> sent to the W3C in
>     2008, and not much work has happened since. It's time to discuss 
> the relevance of
>     ccREL and the continued activities related to ccREL or other 
> standards for expressing
>     the licenses of open *, such as the possibility of using ODRL 
> profiles.
>
> * Hackathon
>     Spend a few hours creating useful software products for the CC 
> community.
> * Metadata/content registries
>     There's a lot of interest in this from industry groups; we need to 
> enable content registries
>     to work with open standards and public APIs in a distributed manner.
